Abstract: A climate control system is described that can include a thermal battery (100) with a heating bed (110) and cooling bed (120) and a conditioned air manifold adapted to direct heat transfer fluid across at least one of the heating bed (110) and the cooling bed (120) to condition inlet air. A method of controlling climate in an enclosure can be provided by contemporaneously generating a heating effect and a cooling effect from a reversible thermo chemical reaction and selectively directing thermal flows from a reversible thermo chemical reaction to the enclosure.

Abstract: A method of deoxygenating metal can include forming a mixture of: a metal having oxygen dissolved therein in a solid solution, at least one of metallic magnesium and magnesium hydride, and a magnesium-containing salt. The mixture can be heated at a deoxygenation temperature for a period of time under a hydrogen-containing atmosphere to form a deoxygenated metal. The deoxygenated metal can then be cooled. The deoxygenated metal can optionally be subjected to leaching to remove by-products, followed by washing and drying to produce a final deoxygenated metal.
